For more than a century, Rainier Beer was Seattle's beer, brewed in the city and known for its goofy, outdoorsy Northwest ads. With the return of the "R" to the skyline, here's a trip back to when Georgetown brewed Rainier, and the "RainBeers" danced above I-5.
This dance on top of the old Rainier Brewery in Seattle happened in 1997. It was a celebration of a beloved, '70s-era Rainier Beer campaign.
